WASHINGTON, October 18.-In the
United States Supreme Court to-day,
Chief Justice Waite announced that
argument upon the questions raised
by the habeas corpus cases of Attor-
ney General Ayres and other impris
oned state officers of Virginia will be
set down for the second Monday in
November, and that meanwhile the
prisoners will be set at liberty on
their own recognizance, in the sum of
one thousand dollars each, to answer
the summons of this court when their
presence shall be required. In ex-
PLANTATION of this decision, the Chief
Justice stated that the prisoners were
public officers charged with public
duties, and the presumption was they
were actuated in this proceeding by
desire to obtain decision upon the
question at issue, and not to manifest
contempt for the court below. The
Chief Justice added, in response to
an inquiry, that the court would hear
argument from two counsel on each
side.

At the first signs of ring-round,

the pan on the stove, put your finger
in the pan, keep it until the water
begins to boil, or as long as it can
be borne. Repeat once or twice.
Much cold bathing exhausts vital
ty Much warm bathing produces
undue relaxation and sensitiveness.
Hence. to secure the best results,
avoid these extremes. The temper
oture of the water and surrounding
air should be such as to allow a bath
to be taken deliberately. With these
conditions, and a moderately coarse
towel, yard in length, to supply
the water, a very thorough bath may
be taken. The towel bath affords
excellent exercise for those engaged
in sedentary employments.

What a Wonder is Man.

1t has been calculated that on the
average each man who attains the age
of three score and ten consumes dur.
ing the course Of his life, twenty
wagon loads of food, solid and liquid.
At four tons to the wagon, this would
correspond to an average of about q
hundred ounces of food per day, or
say one hundred and twenty ounces
per day during adult life, and about
eighty ounces during infancy and
youth. Most modern doctors agree
in regarding one hundred and twenty
ounces of food per day, correspond
ing to five or six half pints of liquid
food, and seven or eight pounds of
solid food, as in excess of the real
daily requirements of healthy man
or woman. Yet, probably most of us
take more than this, in one way or
another, during the day. DR.. Ian
kester, from an extensive analysis OF
the dietary of soldiers, sailors, pris-
oners and the better paid class OF
artisans and professional men in
London, found the average daily
quantity of solid and liquid food to
be one hundred and forty-three
ounces. Doubtless, many take much
less; but unqestionably many take
much more than this.-Prof. Proc
tor IN Cosmopolitan.
